Help make the reading list (safari) go away --FOR GOOD (not just unchecking preferences--that is not a solution)

The READING LIST feature on safari is soo freakin annoying. Even after unchecking it in bookmark preferences, everytime I signin someplace, I still see it invisibly recording my information. The reading glasses icon isn't in my bookbar anymore, but I see a small puff go up in the left side of my screen. How can we make this stop? I even confirmed it's true, because AFTER turning it off under preferences, when I went back to turn it on just to check hours later, I was horrified that it still kept collecting information through sites I visited. This feature's invasive and irritating. Is there a way to terminate the reading list for good???

You can turn off Reading List by clicking the reading glasses icon.

  • How do I make the Reading List window in Safari disappear

    All of a sudden, a very irritating window or tab opened on the left side of my Safari Window asking me if I want to add the current page to my "Reading List".  I don't have a reading list, I don't want a reading list, and I want this window to go away.  How do I make it vanish?

    1. Click "View" menu in the Safari menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Hide Reading LIst".
       or
    2. Click the Reading List icon Reading glasses in the Safari bookmarks bar.
         The left most icon.
    Best.

  • Please help!! I need a quality mic for my computer to record voices that are not hollow sounding

    Does anyone know of a type of microphone that will work with my computer to record quality v

    Ryclark, true, but I would still go with a Shure SM-58. On amazon, you can get it with for only $100, which is a great deal (it's usually around $200), and you can purchase a xlr to usb separately (shure's is really expensive, $84)

  • How can I get Safari to keep the reading list pane open all the time?

    I am really enjoying the Reading List pane in Safari. How can I get Safari to make it default that the reading pane is always open on every tab or window I open? I'm running Lion 10.7.3.
    Thanks.

    Hi Necris Rex,
    If you are having trouble keeping the leading zeros even after first formatting the cells as text and then importing the csv values (perhaps you are importing the csv via File > Open into a new document) then you can restore the leading zeros without much trouble:
    Insert a new column next to the column where the leading zeros have not imported as you want. Here I assume the original values are in column B and your new column is C.
    Put this formula in column C:  =RIGHT("00000000"&A,6) , and fill down the column.
    Select column C, command-c to copy, and, with the column still selected, Edit > Paste and Match Styles.
    Delete the original column that has the missing leading zeros.
    Replace the 6 in the formula with the number of digits you need, so the formula knows how many zeros to "pad."
    The above assumes you actually need the leading zeros back.  If you just want to display things nicely in your Numbers table, then formatting as Numeral System and setting Places to 6 (or whatever) is quick and easy, no formulas required.

  • Safari on my iPad. I have an original iPad and since updating to the latest iOS safari forces me to restart the iPad about two to three times a day. Three problems: 1. It just blacks out. 2. The reading list does not delete after the story is read. 3. Ema

    Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
    1. Just quits.
    2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
    3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
    Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I delete the reading list in Safari on iPad 2?

    I would like to delete the reading list in Safari on my iPad 2. How do I have to do it?

    You can't delete the reading list portion of the bookmarks window. It is built into the app so you can't delete it. That is not optional.
    You can delete items from the reading list by swiping Across the item in the reading list to bring up a red Delete button. Then tap that button to delete the item from the list.

    How to show all items in the reading list? I think this option has been removed in Safari Version 7.0.2

    Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

  • How do I close the reading list in Safari?

    I opened my reading list and it is now using about 1/4 of my monitor screen.  How do I close it? 

    Exactly as dominic23 states, I followed  the step and lo and behold ... it was gone!
    First open Safari, then choose Preferences from the drop-down menu.
    Click on Bookmarks, then place check on Include Reading List -- the eyeglass icon then appears in the Bookmarks Bar at the top of the page.
    Left click on the Eyeglass icon, and the Reading List column will disappear.
    Hope this works.

  • After software update today, the Reading List on my Safari cannot be opened!

    Hello guys,
    After the software update I had earlier on in the day, I can't seem to open up the Reading List on Safari. Do you guys have the same problem too?
    Regards,
    Bo Wei

    Hi...
    If you have iCloud enabled and you are syncing Safari Bookmarks that also syncs the Reading List with other devices.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Bookmarks then reselect it.
    Relaunch Safari. Try opening the Reading List.
    If you do not use iCloud. try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. Try the Reading List

  • Safari.1.1lion when i open a new window it opens as the old version without the reading list button or the download button why is that ?

    so i downloaded the new safari version safari.1.1lion and i installed it and i love it but when i open a new window or i close safari and open it again it opens like the old version (the safari leopard ) it doesnt have the doenload button or  the reading list button . it only opens as the new version if i restart the computer why is that.

    I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.

  • Where is the "reading list" icon in Safari 8.0.4?

    Where is the "reading list" icon in Safari 8.0.4? I need to put it in my menu bar but I can't seem to find it in "Customise toolbar" or "Prefs"

    OK, your are looking for "Add to Reading List" button.
    It is available by default but hidden.
    Move the mouse pointer to the very left in the Safari address bar, a "+" sign in a circle will appear.
    Click it to add an item to Reading list.

  • I cannot make the unread message indicator go away on my 5S.  My phone shows 3 unread messages when in fact there are zero unread.  Help please

    My 5S shows that I have three unread text messages.  However, I do not. I have checked everything I know to check and cannot make the little red 3 go away.  Any ideas?  This is super annoying.

    While the action you describe is not normal for the iPhone, is this the only time that it has occurred or has it happened again? There are the normal user trobleshooting procedures that you can follow, power off/on, reset, restore, however, if it has not happened again, it sounds like an isolated incident that has not been duplicated.
    Also, do you have a passcode lock on the phone to prevent others from accessing your data?
